Patented Apr. 10, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in hair waving devices, and more particularly to a novel permanent waving rod.

The principal object of the present invention is to provide a rod having means for quickening the operation of permanently waving hair, to the end that labor and time is saved.

Other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.

In the drawings:-

Figure 1 represents a side elevational view of the device.

Fig. 2 represents a top plan view of the device.

Fig. 3 represents a side elevational view looking at the opposite side from that shown in Fi 1.

Fig. 4 represents a longitudinal sectional view through the device.

Fig. 5 is an end elevational view looking at the loop end of the rod.

Fig. 6 represents a cross sectional view taken substantially on line 6-6 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 7 represents a cross sectional view taken 25 substantially on line 7-7 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 8 represents a perspective view of the small Plug.

Fig. 9 represents a, perspective view of the large plug.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 represents an elongated tubular rod having a small counter-bore at one end for receiving the small cylindrical reinforcing plug 7. The opposite end of the rod has a relatively large reinforcing plug 8. The end of the rod 5 at the end where the plug 7 is located has an opening in the side thereof registering with a diametrical opening through the plug '7 for receiving the anchored end of the loop 9. This loop 9 is of spring wire and is formed in one convolution as clearly shown in Fig. 5, the extremity thereof being bent backwarclly as at 10 to provide a blunt extremity. This loop is of course for catching and holding the hair when winding the same around the rod. The blunt end facilitates insertion of the loop into the hair so that the loop will not hang in the hair and cause injury thereto.

Numeral 11 generally refers to the clamp which consists of the knurled collar 12 from which extends the spring fingers 13-13. These spring fingers have their outer portions disposed obliquely and slightly twisted so that the ends of the hair will be held close to the rod.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:

1. In combination, a rod, a hair clamp adjustable on the rod, a spring hair engaging element, one end of the element being disposed transversely into the tube and having its remaining portion convoluted around the tube and spaced gradually from its inner end to its outer end with respect to the said tube.

2. In combination, a rod, 3, hair clamp adjustable on the rod, a spring hair engaging element, one end of the element being disposed transversely into the tube and having.its remaining portion convoluted around the tube and spaced gradually from its inner end to its outer end with respect to the said tube, and said hair engaging element being located at one end of the tube and a plug inserted into this end of the tube and into which the inserted end of the spring hair engaging element is disposed.
